Bible Note: Your original post was plenty clear to me and I don't understand why there was any misunderstanding on what you were saying. I guess I have been guilty of shooting 1st and reading latter myself at times, so I would just brush the criticism you received as that, if I were you. As far as your question of whether submissiveness requires a woman to accept physical abuse and live in an atmosphere of fear of life and health; absolutely not! retxar |
